PFL claim delay: No response for June, need to submit July form - EDD CA advice needed

Yeah, I've been trying to call but it's impossible to get through. Always busy or they hang up on me 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open. I mean like, the second they open. Set an alarm and everything.

Sometimes waiting until later in the afternoon works too. People might think it's too late to call, so the lines might be less busy.

Now that you mention it... I don't think I did. Should I have?

Uh oh. Yeah, you usually get an email or something. Might wanna follow up on that ASAP.

Check your junk folder and make sure your email address on file is correct.

2 months?! That's insane. Have you tried escalating?

Yep. Tried everything. Feels like I'm shouting into the void. 😩

Consider reaching out to local news outlets. Sometimes public pressure helps.

Lmao imagine the chaos 🤣 But for real, that might just make them process claims slower

I'm down. When and where? 👀

Please don't. My cousin works there and they're already overwhelmed. It's not the workers' fault.

Solidarity is important, but remember the frontline workers are just as frustrated with the system.

Wow, thanks for the detailed advice! I'll definitely try all of this. Fingers crossed it works 🤞

This is solid advice. I'd add: if all else fails, contact your state representative. They can sometimes work miracles.

Don't forget to check your spam folder for emails! I missed an important update because it went to spam 🤦‍♂️

Also, consider checking if there are any community advocacy groups that deal with such issues. They might have resources to assist you.

I tried, but it was super confusing. Couldn't figure out where to check my claim status.

The new portal is garbage. Bring back the old one! 😤

I found a guide online that helps navigate the new portal. It was a lifesaver for me.

3 weeks?! That's ridiculous. Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help speed things up.

No, I haven't. That's a good idea tho. I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I heard that sometimes reaching out on social media can help too. Maybe try tweeting at them?

Bro you might be onto something... 🤔

LOL if this claim doesn't go through soon, I might just take you up on that offer 😂

A simpler life is tempting, but then we'd have to deal with bears... 🐻

Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 😂 But seriously, do they still accept faxes?

lol i know it sounds old school but it actually works! they do still accept faxes. give it a try!

I've had success with faxing too. Just make sure you have a confirmation receipt.

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

$20?! That's highway robbery! The government should make it easier to reach them without paying extra.

Yeah, it really works. I was skeptical too, but I was desperate. Got through in about 2 hours. Worth every penny for me.

I tried it too, and it worked, but $20 every time can add up. It's great for emergencies, though.
